[Evolution] Reliable Palm device?

[Simon Roberts <thorpflyer yahoo com>]

Hi all,

I've never had great luck with palm devices and Evolution. Partly, perhaps, because I'm using versions that 
come with distros (usually either SuSE or Ubuntu) and they're never "the latest".

Anyway, my girlfriend has been clinging to windows because of my inability to make Linux behave properly with 
her palm, but now her palm has died. So, I figure maybe now is the time to influence her purchase and try to 
get her to buy one that is known to be rock solid with Evolution (including "not the latest" versions).

What should she get? She doesn't need a fancy one, and doesn't want to spend a bunch on it. But it must be 
reliable, and must work 100% with Linux.

Indeed, is this the right list, or should I direct this question elsewhere?

Thanks!
Simon
